The only thing I don't like about silicone is that it's almost sticky. If yo get lint on t you have to wash with soap and water, but it fits nicely on the part and when installed it actually holds the seal off the grill by about 1/16" as it has an able undercut in the profile to force it down.
Pretty tricky huh?
By the way anyone have a box in better shape they could sell? Mine is cracked and missing some clips.
